ValueStreamDesigner is software for value stream mapping.
This software tool brings convenience and power to value stream mapping.
ValueStreamDesigner provides a simple and quick method to prepare, manage,
share and present value stream maps. But the real
power is in its "Tool-based Modeling" and "Dynamic Assessment
of Value Streams". These features allow easy comparison of alternative
solutions, and analysis of "what
if" scenarios. The benefit is early and reliable identification of hidden
potentials in your value stream. ValueStreamDesigner is available in English or
German.
A free copy of ValueStreamDesigner is available. This version features
modeling, loading, saving, and simulation of value stream maps. It is fully
functional, but time limited.

- Flexsim Simulation Software
Simulation, experimentation, and optimization are the core technologies used by
our clients to improve production output and decrease associated costs. With our "Flexsim" software end-users can
create a 3D model that behaves like the manufacturing or material handling
system or process it represents. The power and beauty of Flexsim is that your ideas for improving a process can be
simulated, tested, and justified prior to implementation.
In working with companies over the past decade, one characteristic that
always surfaces in those companies that have been well managed over time is a
"bias for action." They are
companies always looking for methods, people, and tools that will help them
improve what they do and how they do it. Simulation is the single most
pragmatic behavior that innovative companies can
apply to improving their ongoing processes. It's both a tool and practice that
has the potential to immediately generate a two, ten, or hundred-fold return.
We invite you to use Flexsim and begin to
realize these amazing benefits of simulation.

- Lean-Modeler
Lean-Modeler is more than just another value stream mapping tool. It is a powerful simulation software package that takes the guess work out of future state modeling.
Traditional value stream maps are static, a snapshot in time. But on this snapshot rests the rationale for radical changes to organizational processes. Lean-Modeler takes away the 'leap-of-faith' associated with static maps by simulating value streams - current or future state - over time. Lean-Modeler can help you obtain more realistic performance results, by incorporating both time and process variability into the standard value stream mapping technique.
By combining an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface with powerful underlying simulation capability, Lean-Modeler introduces a whole new dimension to value stream mapping!
